Why do I obsess about the hills that kick my ass?
by chelman7  15 Feb 2022
I tried 4 different ways to reach the top. Finally succeeded (see Track 4608). Not pleasant, but mercifully short. Hill baggers and other nutters only. If you have patience, wait until Coillte log the trees, sometime in the next ten years or so. If you can't wait - bring a good briar beating stick, (or a flame-thrower).
